Investigators say the robber went into the bank just after 10 a.m. wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt backward so it covered his face. There were holes in the hood to see out of, but police say the suspect appeared to be wearing glasses.

Police say the suspect ordered tellers to hand him money, then hopped over the counter himself.

"When the clerks weren't moving fast enough for him he went up and over the counter and then had them open up their cash drawers. Here he proceeds to grab the cash out of their drawers and departs the bank through the front door," said Swanton Police Chief Leonard Stell.

State and local police responded, along with U.S. Border Patrol agents.

The suspect is described as being between 5-feet-2 inches and 5-feet-6 inches tall and weighing between 125 and 135 pounds.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Swanton police.
